Increasing photosynthesis increases carbon availability for plants. Whether, or to what extent, that translates into increased growth depends on the nature of colimiting factors, especially nutrient availability. Any increase in carbon availability will exacerbate nutrient limitations. (Hope this helps! Give thanks?)
